The foreman offshore knows more about running the rig, yep I would agree with that. The CEO probably knows a little bit more about managing[SIZE=2][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/SIZE]cash flow and making payroll. This is a financial issue not a who can find the oil and run the rig issue. Again let's drop it, I wish I would have never pointed out was is very obvious to the rest of us to you.

Its a platform,, not a rig!!! Rig is what drills for oil! They move and are not stationary Platform,, is what produces oil! It is placed stationary Know your facts before you try to argue at point you have zero knowledge about!

Or better yet don't and lets just drop it. They only reason I posted was becuase of the bad information you were providing to the members of the board. I should realize that most people on the site do not listen to you on any matter other than fishing. That is the one area you are an expert and I tip my cap to you. Even then you let your personal agenda spew into fishing conversations such as this and the oil spill. |

Bottom line is there is zero shortage of red snapper in the Gulf and look how many were on that small 4 pile ?? Millions of snapper in the gulf , so if you want to make a fight . Make it about how the Feds are blowing smoke up the peoples Azz about snapper shortage ! Ask charter captains to stop killing under size snapper or the ones they don't want to keep! Don't blame the oil field for staying safe and compliance by removing old abandon platforms Info I posted was 100% facts

The main issue with leaving the 'rigs' (I know they are called platforms but the rigs to reef program didn't get that memo I guess) is LIABILITY. It is in writing that the oil companies have to remove the platform after the lease or whatever runs out. They are simply following the law, its not their fault. They would just assume save money and leave the rig standing there but that goes back to liability. If they were to leave it there and a boat hits it at night, they are coming after the oil company. If the oil platform is donated to the state for a reef, and a boat hits the reef at night, etc. they are coming after the state for money. The state would have to put lights on these things and lighting for that size of a structure would require a generator, diesel, maintenance, etc. I believe there is a moratorium on the removal of rigs right now as they try and figure the best strategy. Its obvious that the platforms support tons of marine life, the oil companies have their hands tied in a sense they are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
The state/feds need to figure a way to keep these structures out there for habitat and couple that with reduction in liability. Also, a platform not being maintained (welded, painted) will eventually rust out and fall over. If a fishing vessel was there tied up and the platform fell onto their boat, they are suing somebody. Its a very interesting predicament and I hope the outcome benefits the fish and fishermen. The Rigs to Reefs program is a great program but 'they' can't figure out how to get around the legal issue of liability. And, our governor keeps raiding the fund for other usages |

Here is your problem If let's say the State takes over for a reef!
The State now has to hire a staff to maintain these platforms and keep Coast Guard and Nav Aids working properly and would have to keep the structure safe for maintenance of the Nav Aids . Safety Is #1 in Gulf Safety Compliance Production So it is going to cost the state millions to maintain these structures in a safe manner There was a fight a while back about the removal of a platform around the flower gardens , not sure the outcome of that
